QSLs also exist in magnets with strong spin-orbit couplings. In 2006, Kitaev proposed a honeycomb lattice model which has an exactly solvable QSL ground state[1]}. Later, candidate materials containing the Kitaev type interactions, called the Kitaev materials, are proposed, including the well studied \(\alpha \) -RuCl\(_3\)  and Na\(_2\) IrO\(_3\)[2]}, [3]}. However, most of these materials exhibit zigzag type long-range order at low temperatures, indicating the existence of non-Kitaev interactions such as the Heisenberg exchanges[4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}, [8]} and off-diagonal \(\Gamma ,\Gamma ^{\prime }\)  terms[7]}, [10]}, [11]}, [12]}, [13]}. Interestingly, external forces, such as magnetic fields[14]}, [15]}, [16]} or mechanical pressure[17]}, [18]}, [19]}, [20]}, [21]}, can suppress the order and drive the system into a spin-liquid like or a dimer-like disordered state.
